Made in the skies, available in the UK: Old pilots launches new UK headquarters

This expansion brings their globally celebrated gin and vodka to discerning customers and premium venues across the United Kingdom and Ireland, offering a taste of unparalleled craftsmanship and authenticity.

Who Are Old Pilots?

Old Pilots was founded by two former pilots, Tomislav Anadolac and Hrvoje Bušić, whose careers in aviation shaped their meticulous approach to crafting spirits. Inspired by the precision, discipline, and creativity required in the skies, they turned their passion for flying into an equally ambitious journey: creating spirits that would capture the essence of heritage, innovation, and craftsmanship.

Their story began in Zagreb, Croatia, where the duo established a small craft distillery with a vision to create something extraordinary. Combining the finest Croatian botanicals with sustainable practices and modern distillation techniques, they built a brand that reflects both tradition and forward-thinking innovation.

The Products: A Testament to Craftsmanship

Old Pilots is best known for its award-winning range of spirits, each crafted with precision and care:

· London Dry Gin: Hand-crafted with botanicals native to Croatia, including juniper, orange, sage, and olive leaves, this gin offers a refined and vibrant flavour profile. Perfect for classic cocktails or creative mixology, it’s a gin that stands out for its balance and depth.

· Barrel Aged Gin: Aged in Croatian and American oak barrels, this sophisticated gin delivers rich, layered notes of vanilla and dried fruit, making it ideal for sipping neat or elevating a signature cocktail.

· Vodka: Distilled with precision to achieve unparalleled smoothness, Old Pilots Vodka is versatile and elegant, perfect for both classic and contemporary serves.

Why Old Pilots is Special

What sets Old Pilots apart is its dedication to authenticity and craftsmanship. Each bottle is crafted in small batches to ensure the highest quality, using hand-picked botanicals sourced from Croatia’s natural landscapes. The brand’s commitment to sustainability and innovation has earned it multiple gold medals at prestigious competitions like the International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC).

The UK launch marks an exciting new chapter for Old Pilots as it continues to build its reputation as a premium spirits brand. The new headquarters will serve as a hub for sales, support, and marketing, ensuring seamless collaboration with venues across the UK.
